better news…
So, my mother is firmly convinced that my mother-in-law is a hypochondriac nutcase. And there’s no way its going to be as bad as she thinks it is. Which is firmly comforting, because this has not been a good week for the idea of me quitting my job. My mom, being a nurse and […]

random things about me
Rules: Write 10 random/odd habits or facts about yourself. Then tag 10 people and have them do the same. All great fun 1. I’m a hippy. Not in the pot-smoking 70’s tie-dyed way, but because I am fundamentally opposed to war and violence. 2. I am obsessed with Alan Rickman. Especially Alan Rickman as Severus […]

So I know pretty much the exact theological reasons why suicide in the Church is considered a sin. I want to know what other faiths teach about it, specifically moderate Islam.

I was thinking about life, while driving home, listening to The Spill Canvas on my ipod, and the song “Self Conclusion” came on.
